This proposal aims to develop materials which have the potential to drastically reduce the energy consumption in large data centers by replacing existing copper interconnects with much more efficient optical interconnects. Gallium nitride (GaN) is a material that is responsible for the current revolution in lighting technology allowing full spectrum light emission over all visible […]

The past decade has revolutionized the astronomical observation of black holes. In 2015, the gravitational waves generated by the merger of two black holes were detected, which confirmed the predictions of general relativity and led to a Nobel prize. In 2019, an array of telescopes spread across the globe took the first image of a […]

Modern synthetic chemistry, and in effect the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, still relies heavily on molecular transformations that inherently generate metal waste. In the CJ Li lab at McGill, we developed a “hydrazone” strategy that does the same transformation while generating only benign by-products (nitrogen and water). To expand the utility of this technology, […]

(1) Moleculex is dedicated to transforming traditional internal wound and trauma management and closure with safe and effective bioadhesive and mucoadhesive technology. (2) The core technology at Moleculex relies on natural-based polymers, which are limited by their inherent properties, through artificial synthesis. (3) The new polymer expected to be developed can be integrated into our […]
